Roof Repair That Fixes the Damage, Not More Roof Than You Need

Under the Florida Building Code, no more than 25 percent of a roof or roof section can be repaired, replaced or recovered in 12 months unless the whole roof is brought up to current code. Since a 2022 law, roofs built to the 2007 code or later only need the repaired part brought up to current code. We check which side of that line your roof is on before quoting.

Not automatically, but it is time for an honest inspection. Citizens asks for documentation of remaining useful life on shingle roofs past 25 years, and a roof past 15 years can face insurer questions under current Florida law. If the inspection shows years of life left, a repair plan may be the better call.

Outside the storm rush, if you can. The rainy season runs June through September and hurricane season runs through November, and demand for crews and inspections jumps after any storm. Late fall through spring usually gives you more scheduling control and drier days for tear-off.

Yes. Hurricane Milton in October 2024 brought gusts up to 93 mph near the airport and 10 to 15 inches of rain across most of the county, two weeks after Helene set a storm surge record for the bay. Atlantic hurricane season runs June 1 through November 30.

For most homes, yes, because of ladder safety and because a professional cleaning includes downspout flushing and a roof edge check. Overflow damage to fascia and foundations is a bigger job than any cleaning.

Ours does. Every downspout is flushed from the top to confirm water runs out the bottom, because a packed elbow can make a clean-looking gutter overflow.
